My mum's birfday is at the end of this week, and I am trying to find pictures of myself to add to a digital picture frame. Problem is, I don't have anything even remotely recent. Everything I can find of myself are from early 2000, or me dressed up at a convention.
If you have any pictures of me, from Shirley's wedding, random events, etc., that I might not be afraid to have my mother see, I would greatly appreciate if I could get a copy. I have a scanner, if it is an actual photo, or various media readers if it is on a flash card, digital camera, etc. I am more than willing to come to you at your convenience, if you cannot get it to me via email or such.Current Mood:  distressed |

Verizon is pissing me off...
I have had the same reoccuring problem, where I constantly loose internet connection. It happens sporatically during the weekdays, but on the weekends it happens every 5 to 10 minutes. Every time I call customer services, I get someone in India, which would be fine as long as my problem got fixed. Each time they walk me through shutting off my modem, which I have done 90 or so times prior to the call, and when that does not fix the problem, they walk me through resetting the modem, which again I have done previous to the call. After several line tests, and whatnot on their end, they usually want to schedule to have a tech come out between a 12 hour window. But I can't schedule it with them then, because they are in India, and they have to have someone call me from the States, sometime within 24 hours, to schedule it. When I do finally get it scheduled, usually 3 days later, no one ever shows up, instead I get a call that said tech has been to local hub, and thinks he has fixed it. Since it is then the weekday, it seems fixed as I still only get sporatic disconnects, but the disconnects every 5 to 10 minutes return with the weekend.
With the exception of the first time I called, where the online tech told me that she found a problem on their end, every other online tech has assured me that it is not on their end.
After yesterday, where I went the entire day without internet connection, I am finally fed up. Since Verizon cannot offer reliable internet service, I am looking into other internet providers. I hate that I will loose the screen name most know, the one real reason I didn't switch sooner, but the shoddy service is unacceptable, and I cannot even count the number of times I have lost work due to loss of internet connection.Current Mood:  angry |

Sister in law went to hospital today. I am not sure if there are any problems, but it was mentioned that the baby may need to be delivered cesarean section. I am male, so was only given small snippets of information... enough to get me concerned that there may be a problem, but not enough to actually know anything going on.

The Seattle Times cover story screams that the swine flu will infect 50% of us... and even worse, the "life saving" vaccine is in short supply. The PI next to it touts a similar swine flu end of days. It is really quite brilliant actually... for a product most will not need, to combat an ailment that is basically the most recent mutation of the normal flu virus, you use enough scary buzz words, like "pandemic!!!", and make your vaccine, the only hope of survival, in short supply... yup, makes me want to shiv my neighbor to be sure I get one.

I forgot how fantastic it was to just spend an entire day at the airport, flying, and just BSing with the other guys. Once you leave the ground, all your cares and problems seem to just fade away.
Makes me wish aviation fuel didn't cost so much... or maybe just that the plane didn't use about 150 lbs an hour.

Everyone is supposed to hate it when they have to help a friend move, so I devised an ingenious plot.
To make sure no one will ask you to help them move again, you back your mother's van into their brand new 2008 volkswagon Jetta.
I imagine it may turn out to be a somewhat expensive plot... and a mark on a perfect record.

After about a week of 56k modem style slow interweb speeds, and constant disconnects, I finally got the Verizon tech support person to elevate my problem. I am now supposed to get a call in the next 24 hours, to tell me when in the next 3 days, someone can be scheduled to come out and look at my line. Unfortunately till then, I have no interweb connection at all...

Today I got stuck in Bellevue traffic, which was stop and go for about 30 minutes. About 7ish min into the traffic, I saw a motorcycle in my rear view mirror, driving on the center lines between the two lanes of stopped cars, and I suddenly had the urge to quickly open my door and unseat him.
Of course I didn't do it, but I am slightly concerned about that thought instantly popping into my head.

Disney is releasing a new, at least "new" from Disney, Hayao Miyazaki animation to theaters on August 14th.
Ponyo is inspired by "The Little Mermaid", by Hans Christian Andersen.
Unfortunately there is no real local movie information on Fandango, or other similar sites, so I don't know if it will be available in our area. If it does end up being shown around here, perhaps we could do a group viewing.

This much lack of effort is crying out for some reply love, so I create a brand new account on Hotmail, and made it a personal sounding email address with a fake name
(Theo Edward Baer), and wrote my excited winner reply...
Dear Dr. Anthony Floyd,
I am so greatly excited to have been a winner in the 2009 NOKIA INC
AWARDS-INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS. I did not know that when I purchased
my phone that I had been entered in this contest, and I never imagined
I ever had a chance at winning anything like this. I would greatly
like to begin the verification process of my winnings. Please instruct
me on how to receive my prize money, as soon as my claims have been
verified.
This money means a great deal to me. I lost my job a while ago, and
times have been very hard for me and my family. I actually am looking
forward to paying off my past due bills. I can also finally pay for
my mothers hospital bills. She was in a head on collision with a drunk
driver, and the doctors said they didn't think she was going to live.
You have litterally saved my life. With my mother's accident, not
enough money to keep food on the table, or warm clothes on my childrens
back, I was planning on committing suicide. But with this money, I can
start again with a level field.
I thank you so much for this, you have really saved my life!
Sincerely,
T. E. Baer

The balding mullet guy, who is the only hope of saving the earth, and perhaps the universe as well... apparently...
And of course the vile villain... whom I cannot remember the name... so I'll call him Ming the Merciless!
As it must always be... the face off between that which is good, and that which is evil...
And I forgot the rest of the story because it was too early in the morning for anyone in their right mind to be up... let alone acting out the fate of the universe with coffee mugs, salt shakers, and... Kale? Parsley perhaps?
